How to apply for a grant

We have an on-line application process. Please read ALL sections of this website before completing the Application Form. The Application Form must be submitted electronically (no paper copies or additional material to be sent).

Applications are assessed throughout the year and grant awards are made quarterly. All decisions will be communicated by email as soon as possible.

Re-applications from existing or previous grantees should not be submitted until 12 months after the date of their final Monitoring and Evaluation Report, which is due 12 months after receipt of a grant payment.

Applications previously rejected need to wait 12 months from their date of rejection before re-applying.

Please note, as an alternative to rejecting an application, Trustees may decide to offer a grant award less than the requested amount.

Trustees do not enter into any communication over reasons why an application is rejected, nor is there an appeals process.

The successful applicant must complete a Monitoring and Evaluation Report towards the end of the first year of the grant, and at the end of each subsequent year if the grant is continuing. This needs to be approved by Trustees before the next year’s grant will be released.

Visits may be made to existing grantees in order to report on their projects to the Board of Trustees, and in some cases a visit may take place before a grant is awarded.
